The people at 1to1Legal have been working in the industry for over 20 years and have worked with hundreds of firms and thousands of solicitors. Here are links to our colleagues unbias comments on firms we know:

A.C.S.L. Solicitors: Little things like these can show a firm really interested in it's work, the people coming through their site, and that 'transparency' many claim to strive for. Some firms provide staff profile pages which we think aren't just a good side offering, but essential these days. ...


Amy King Solicitor: Today's article covers an area of legal services there's probably a fair misunderstanding about. There are other factors you can look into. There is no hard and fast rule. But definitely, make sure the person you're hiring seems interested in you, has at least some experien...


Baker Hardman Ltd: Unfortunately, Scotland's law society is nowhere near providing such useful information to its residents. We have seen law firms with 5 star ratings for their pizza and negative ratings for a divorce firm refusing to take on an injury case. This includes whether they ...

Brodies Solicitors LLP: Sometimes people are https: www.dailymail.co.uk news article-12995257 british-woman-channel-5-swindled-home-spain-fraudsters-hack.html" handing over their entire house deposit< a> to a fraudster simply because they received an official-looking email stating the bank payme...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: For anything else you'll probably be under the Lindsays departments. For the new generations of potential clients looking up a law firm on the internet, they are simply more likely to want to use a firm called "Swift Claims" compared to "Swift & Johnson Solicitors Ltd".

Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: That's a good checklist of information. However you can easily end up with a 1-year qualified novice from a 200-year old firm, and a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old firm. If you are interested in a firm that doesn't provide this information though, there is a weal...


CWJ Solicitors & Notaries: So the age of the firm's logo will probably bear no relation on how well they will run your case. The firm branding typically uses the acronym "CWJ" which stands for Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd. Let's be honest, practically no one is ever fully happy with how their ho...


Defank Solicitors Croydon: There are hundreds of websites out there pretending to look like an official law firm when they are actually simply gathering people's case details to sell on to solicitors. For today's example we're using the website of the law firm Defank: class="infoquote "At Defan...

EDC Lord Solicitors: There is also a frequently asked questions (FAQ) section that addresses common questions and concerns clients may have. class="infoquote "We thrive on repeat business as well as recommendations from existing and potential future clients. class="infoquote "We ha...


EMD Law Solicitors: Certainly for legal services it will be the case that people are more likely to leave a comment mainly if something went wrong. But you might find law firms are never drowning in reviews - good or bad. Please note that even if you see a firm touting an ancient date such as '...


Eve Lake Conveyancing: class="infoquote "Reliable Conveyancing & Legal Services based in the Hope Valley, Derbyshire. Unlike divorce, criminal law, or a will - with a property sale, 99% of the time someone is frustrated with how it's going. There's a distinct difference between a 'licensed ...

Horsley Holdings Ltd: However, while that is still good advice in our opinion - we know it can be difficult to find information and background on newer firms. So checking for an SRA number is a good idea before filling in a contact form. Some are data collectors who then sell your inform...

Mark Croft Motor Offence: However, if you see phrasing such as '20 years of combined experience' or '20 years of experience within the firm' - that means they've added up the experience of all staff members together.
